The community around something is a big part of enjoying something. I like the Thief series. If not for Thief I never would've found a certain message board I enjoy posting at, probably. I want to talk about it with someone. Unfortunately, the only people around to talk about it with are Thief fans.

The problem is that the Thief fanbase is so small, and yet so vocal, that even just by my proximity in a separate subforum I get associated with the petting zoo. At least with Fallout fandom (as an example) it's big enough, and enough friends of mine have played it, that I can discuss the games without having to go to No Mutants Allowed or, god forbid, RPG Codex. I don't even have to go to tumblr. Not so with Thief. And Thief fans regularly come up with surprising new ways to be embarrassing. I've been told by a woman in her 40s who really should know better that I couldn't possibly have played Thief 1 and 2 because I like 3. It was completely surreal, because I expect that from 20-something basement-dwelling boys with neckbeards, not from a grown woman! I really don't understand what it is about Thief that makes people act like this.

I continue to post there because I still enjoy the games and I'm still interested in the impact of the new game, even if I don't really play the old games anymore. That doesn't mean I have to be their friend. Especially if I'm going to have to put up with the "omg square-enix shill" or "YOU NO TR00 THEEF FAN" from people who by and large should know better.
